From Bigelow

Our refreshing Mint Medley is a lovely blend of both fresh garden spearmint and peppermint, all grown and harvested right here in America. Either hot or iced, this brew leaves you with a cool, crisp and clean finish.

65 Tasting Notes

Scene: 9:30 p.m., and I’ve just walked a half-hour in the rain with a broken umbrella. My dress shoes are waterlogged. At that point, any tea is a good idea.

Mint seems to be my default; when I’m tired or cranky it’s a good option. And this was okay for the 10:00 p.m. train ride home, but not something I’d pick up every day. It’s that fake minty taste (someone likened it to toothpaste), not reminiscent of real mint, but I can deal with it as a late-night option.

Preparation

I’ve been drinking this tea for YEARS. It’s probably my all time favorite mint tea. I’ve tried loose leaf mint teas, and mint teas from other companies, but I always come back to this one. Omg it’s just perfect. Not too minty, smooth, great with milk or without. Makes a great cup of mint iced tea too! Who cares if it’s in a bag!

I have plenty of dried mint at home, but if I’m at work and manage to overeat, or eat something that doesn’t agree with me, I can easily find a bag of Mint Medley, and then I’m on my way to relief. There’s nothing fancy frou about a straight-up mint blend like this one, but does there need to be? This is more spearmint than peppermint, but both are present in this cooling cup. The only twist in Mint Medley is a light hit of that tart, quintessential ‘sour red herbal tea’ flavor from the rosehip and hibiscus – but it’s very slight, and if you’d rather not experience any of that in your mint tea – that tart flavor virtually disappears under the power of mint if you steep it for a bit longer.

This was my first cup of tea ever. My mother keeps a package of this in the cupboard, and her cup always smelled so good that I finally had to try it. This was the start of my love for tea. It still has a place in my cupboard since every time I drink a cup I think of my mom. As for the taste, it is almost sweet and I like it better than a pure peppermint mix. It is just bright, and complex.

It’s hard to be certain, but I believe that one of the mints in the medley may be peppermint. Supposedly, vermin hate the smell of mint. I hope that this tea is able to keep my mouth free of ants and mice.
